Anyone watching Ben the Bachelor tonight? - NO SPOILERS PLEASE

[phorsenuf]

Isn't there some sort of marine animal with a big snooty nose/mouth? I'm trying to picture exactly what it is that Courtney reminds me of.

Manatee?

I'm trying to watch it now. I don't know if it's worth it to watch by myself. It's only fun watching with you gals.
It is soooo BOOOOORING!!!

Ben is questioning Nicki about her previous relationship & marriage. Why is it presumes HE can interrogate about her, but he OBVIOUSLY doesn't have enough relationship experience, and she doesn't get to ask as in depth questions of him??? Just because some wacko committee chose him, he's so perfect that she doesn't get to turn the questions around and say, "At least I fell in love before & did get married. What is your past, Loser? Could it be you are too boring and couldn't really get someone without the show?"



Be back in a bit. . . if I make it through this segment.

you're braver than I...I passed on last nights show completely....and sounds like a good thing. My reflux system may not have been strong enough to tolerate the visuals


my post is out of order.......again. I wish my checkbook worked like this, lol!

I just wish he'd wash & comb his nasty hair.

UGH, i know! when he was having dinner after swimming in the ocean...it looked worse than a wet mop. It looked like the ABC producers found a random vagrant outside of the studios in Burbank and slapped a tux on him.
Of course a random vagrant would probably be more interesting to listen to.

Why the heck did Ben pick up the rose, wave it in front of Elyse just to tell her he couldn't give her the rose? What an SOB.

Oh, Elyse, don't cry. He's so not worth it.
I wonder if she's watching this now cringing that she even considered him?

Although, she kind of did herself in when she said she accomplished everything she wanted to at age 24. Low standards if that's all she wants in life.


And yes, I also wish he'd wash his hair.

I should have come here before I posted my begging thread for someone to please was and cut his hair. He's gross! He was on The Chew today and still the same filthy, greasy mess.

I'm not sure I can "play" with you on this thread now shortbun........you watched that horrible, terrible show The Chew.......the show that has replaced my soap, All My Children. How could you!?!

Um, I too mourn All My Children but their finale was so pathetic...I was actually relieved it was over. I watched AMC from the beginning and Phil and Tara were an item, lol! Anyone remember Phil and Tara? I like Micchael Symon and Mario Batali, so I watch the Chew. Sorry MM

Going back to read what everyone posted last nite. . .

Geez, the blue team are a sniveling mess right now! Blakely seems pretty peeved to have lost the game, didn't she? Did you all hear Courtney's one liner about Blakely..."who knew strippers could play baseball!"

According to some of you a couple weeks ago, she's an <cough> escort.

I am thoroughly entertained by Courtney's comments this episode. She's a nut, lol.

I hate how this season has turned into the "Courtney Show"! DD and I usually watch and get a pretty good laugh out of each season, but this season is just pathetic.

I'm kind of wondering if Courtney wasn't one of the hired actresses, err, models, to be on the show this season, to enliven things up.

Like Ben knows she's hired to spice things up & cause drama. Yet, he can also have fun with her, like go skanky dipping, and IF he happens to fall for her, that's fine for the show & the ratings, too.

....sounds like.....but he kept her around anyhoo....what I don't get is, she was warning Ben about Courtney, but in next week's episode, someone [I forget who] warns Ben about <the skank> and he takes that info seriously....

That other girl is Kacie B. He likes her, so he takes what she says more seriously. That, or we don't see if other girls are there with her while she's saying it. Or, that he finally takes what they say seriously as Kacie B backs up what Emily said.

:

We noticed that too. What a jerk.

 

[Imzadi]

:The bolded, especially. See, IF he has feelings for even at least ONE of the other girls and feels like he is making a connection, then why not have self control--esp. with Courtney. She's throwing herself at him, breaking the rules, wants her 15 minutes of fame and is coming off like she'd boil a bunny on your stove!

The only thing that makes me feel better about the whole skinny dipping crap is the fact that you know last night completely stunk for Ben! Whoever he picked was watching all that happen and he was having to face the fire for what he did. If it was me, and I didn't know about it before, I would be done. It will be interesting to see if he fesses up to it before the show is over.

Yes, like the way Emily Maynard didn't know all Brad did - and he wasn't half as bad as Ben. Emily was so P.O.ed at Brad during the ATFR show.

I did not bother watching last night, but sounds like it was skeevy. No shocker that Ben went skinny dipping..he has been all over these girls from day one. I am pretty sure that his real life does/did not garner him what is basically *captive* women to have his way with so he is going to go for the gusto while he can.

I didn't even know Ben owned a winery!

I *think* he inherited the winery when his dad died. I don't think Ben is a self-made millionaire. he certainly doesn't act like someone who's got their act together in any great capacity.

The thought of Flajnik juice is just nauseating. Is his wine sold in cans or plastic bladders?


Flajnik Wine...perfect for those times when you don't want to waste the good stuff on a skank...Pull out the can opener and let the good times roll!


ETA: I don't know why this post is so out of order???

Double post

If Ben had his brains where they should be, he would've flat out refused to do it. For crying out loud, he sent Shawntel home because it wasn't fair to the other girls he already had. But I guess skinny dipping is ok then?

Oh, he clearly showed his true colors. He gave little thought to how it would effect the other girls. Even if he thought they wouldn't find out then, well, they found out now! It's freaking filmed for tv Ben. Idiot.

Yes, he only thought of how the girls would react, when they would be mad at him and treat him badly.


But, skinny dipping if they don't find out, no problem!

Kind of reminds me of a dolphin!

Don't insult the dolphins!

 

[MAGICFOR2]

I thought I would give a guy's point of view. I have casually watched the Bachelor(ette) with my wife since the early days, and this season is even worse than this past Bachelorette season. Bachelor Ben is not a nice guy. The way he threatened Emily last night (who can do much, much better than Ben) was creepy. I can see him being abusive in a relationship. Jennifer can consider herself lucky by getting voted off last night. She was one of the most attractive women there on the inside and out.

Ahhh ... Courtney. Has there ever been a bigger (or more skeletor-looking) skankbag in the history of the Bachelor? She's almost equally as ugly on the inside as Ben. Also, I don't know how you can find that bag of bones attractive. She has to pluck that semi-unibrow, she has the lips of one of those sucker fish that clean your fish tank, and she looks 10+ years older than she claims. Maybe it's because I don't like your typical model's body, but she just looks like an old, washed up bag of bones. The picture became much more clear when I read the background on Ben and Courtney on Reality Steve. They are both scumbags. They are perfect for each other. Any girl who gets eliminated can consider themselves lucky. Ben is a complete jerk who looks like the caveman from the Geico commercials. Sorry, but I usually don't bash people's appearances, but I think it's warranted in this case because they're such ugly people on the inside.

My wife and I usually watch to get a laugh out of how bizarre the show has become, but this season is almost unbearable. I will probably just read recaps from here on out because I almost wanted to throw Ben in the surf last night after he threatened Emily ... what a toolbag.

Thanks for weighing in on this. I didn't think about the abusive thing - he is so naracissistic - that makes sense. At the very least, he will be a verbal bully.

I do think they deserve each other

This! This is definitely one season where I hope the creepy girl "wins".

Me too! They can be miserable together.

All they remember is running back to their hotel rooms and showering with bleach. The rest is blocked by post traumatic amnesia from the sheer nastiness of it.

Yeah what the heck? Why did he get rid of Jennifer. I thought she was cute. I get the impression that next week a couple of the girls talk to Ben about Courtney. He showed what kind of guy he is when he opted to skinny dip with Courtney. He has no self control.

I think even though Jennifer won best kisser, she was more of a friend type to him than a romantic connection, or he knows she won't sleep with him on the overnights

....Courtney gets buck-nekkid with a guy that she hardly knows, and in front of crew and camera no less, but she's got the b*lls to call Blakely a stripper...apparently she's never heard the phrase: the pot calling the kettle black....

ZACTLY!

Some random thoughts that led to a few questions from a viewer that hasn't watched all of the seasons:

Has anyone ever refused a rose?? I don't think I've ever seen that.

Has anyone said "nah" when the person (after rejecting them) asks if they can still walk them out? Yes, I've seen a few of the girls shrug them off, and then Ben didn't let Ashley walk him out aftrer she rejected his proposal.

Does anyone else think that Courtney either has or recently had a drug problem to go with her alcohol problem since she always does that strange tweaking thing with her mouth??

Yes! I thought that last week - that exact word came to mind - TWEAKER!!!

The only thing that makes me feel better about the whole skinny dipping crap is the fact that you know last night completely stunk for Ben! Whoever he picked was watching all that happen and he was having to face the fire for what he did. If it was me, and I didn't know about it before, I would be done.

I am pretty sure that his real life does/did not garner him what is basically *captive* women to have his way with so he is going to go for the gusto while he can. Not saying he should, just saying he is a pig from day one... a gross, smack-kissing monkey-pig. The girl who left early, the blonde who arrived w/her Grandma...smartest( and had the most self-respect) of the whole bunch. So Jennifer left? She is the red-head, right? That he said was the best kisser? I know Elyse is gone only thru my DS grapevine. Apparently she is the sister of the boyfriend of the sister of a kid at DS school (got that?) So I knew she was history last week, lol. Ah well....I ready for some Celebrity Apprentice

There's no doubt in my mind that Ben and Courtney *did* it. Gross. Her parents must be so proud. She doesn't care about Ben, she cares about "winning"(as if he's a prize!) and resorted to the oldest trick in the book. Ben is blinded b/c he's 'gettin some' Those other girls don't stand a chance. Of course when they sober up and get home, they will all be grateful to the skank!

Okay, I have a random thought - He had no pockets for a condom

No, Ryan was a firefighter, so definitely not wealthy. As for ben, he owns a winery.

I think Courtney has something wrong with her. Between her inappropriate behavior with Ben (plus she kept saying how she "needed" him) and her comments she is always making, I really think there is some sort of behavioral disorder going on.

Yup, her head is going to start spinning around pretty soon

And what is up with that bunny mouth she makes? It is like her teeth and buck teeth and her mouth real narrow and she can't close her lips around her teeth.

If it is a habit she has,as she's thinking up evil plans and plots, she need to stop it. It really makes her uglier than she is. Funny how once you *know* someone, you can't even see the beauty in them anymore. (old saying: Pretty is, as pretty does.)

Well said, Forrest

Why the heck did Ben pick up the rose, wave it in front of Elyse just to tell her he couldn't give her the rose? What an SOB.

Oh, Elyse, don't cry. He's so not worth it.
I wonder if she's watching this now cringing that she even considered him?

Although, she kind of did herself in when she said she accomplished everything she wanted to at age 24. Low standards if that's all she wants in life.


And yes, I also wish he'd wash his hair.

Oh, I meant to comment on that - it must have been the meanest moment in Bachelor History!
